I usually never write reviews, and we aren't very picky, but... 1. The bathrooms are small, lighting is bad, pipes are sticking out everywhere. Not sanitary. 2. The service is horrendous. Every day after room service, towels go missing. We called 3 times within the span of 2 hours, and have yet to receive any towels. We cannot take a shower. The front desk is also impatient during our calls, and insists that the people are either doing laundry or going through their room service orders. But it's been 2 hours. 3. The safe also does not work properly.
The price doesn’t include breakfast, the elevator is old and the whole place smells really weird. Not enough hair dryers for all rooms so we never got one even though we asked several times. The only good thing about this place is the location but there are better hotels for similar prices in the area.
Paid over £100 a night to stay here. Although location was good and staff were polite, the hotel let me down with its cleanliness. The room was not cleaned by house keeping throughout my stay due to the hotels silly covid policy. They told me they only clean rooms every 5 days and mine was only 3. Considering the price I don’t find this acceptable.. never encountered a hotel that doesn’t offer daily house keeping. Also a lot of the hotel is getting renovated so could constantly hear building works going on. For the money you can find better hotels.
Awful experience Microwave broken and reported each day but not fixed for entire stay over 3 days and this is point of staying here that you have a Mini kitchen Place is dirty and disgusting and on final day saw cockroaches (see photos) Doors are battered and scratched. Tap is positioned so you can’t wash hands of brush teeth easily! Weird. See photos Kept awake all night Christmas Day/night and told was nothing to do with the hotel and then later told it was because they’re doing building works !!at 4 am !! When I called to say this a lady on front desk was so rude and offensive and put phone down! The manager on front desk called madeleine was very professional and refunded a nights stay. She’s the best thing about place . Last time I stayed had. Man beating up a resident in room next door and hotel refused to call police and let the man continue his stay saying they know he has “issues”!!! The victim left hotel covered in blood! Just don’t stay … hate to say it but it’s a very run down place and dirty…
The positive- the Manager and everyone at the desk were great… But, do not choose this hotel if you can spend 386 elsewhere. It is NOT an IHG or soon to be Marriott property. I stayed here many times for work when it was a Staybridge, and it was great. Vibrant and clean. Of course it is pandemic related, but the rooms are now dingy and dirty- everywhere. I have never heard of TBA, but would not choose in the future.
I had stayed at this hotel a few times when it was the Staybridge Suites. It never was a luxury hotel, but it was conveniently located and good value. I booked the Staybridge Suites again in May 2021. My first surprise came when our cab pulled up at 340 W 40th Street and there was no Staybridge. The clerk at reception told me the hotel had changed hands, but they had my reservation. We arrived before the 3:00pm check in time and would have to wait unless we paid a $100 early check in fee. We chose to let them store our luggage until we came back later in the afternoon. The second surprise was that the hallways were noticeably worn down. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable so we stayed. Surprise number 3 was no breakfast. We were not advised about this “Covid related “ situation. Surprise number 4, no cleaning of the room. We could at least been advised about this when we checked in. This will be our last stay at this hotel. I can’t take any more surprises.…
I never write bad reviews because I was a hotel manager for 15 years (front desk manager, duty manager, rooms division manager) and I know sometimes reviews can be unfair, but if any of my staff ever talked to a guest the way the staff treated me I would have written them up on the spot. My phone died and I forgot my charger and didn't mind being off the grid for a bit. The only problem is that I was going off the clock in the room which was two hours off. The clock said 10:44 so I was packed and about to go out the door when a lady from the front desk called in the rudest and most condescending tone I've ever heard in customer service. "Hello. It's past check out time. We are going to charge you for your room!" I explained that I didn't know it was check out time because their clock was off and that I was almost put of the room anyway. "We're still going to charge you! We have your credit card on file" ...I told her I wouldn't pay it. "We will see about that, I'll have a manager call you!" An appropriate was to handle this....if you had good customer service would be a call like this "Hello, Mr. Smith, I've noticed it's past your check out time. Would you like any assistance with your bags? Just so you know if you do stay in the room much longer we may have to charge you a late check out fee" Instead I got rude. The manager wasn't much better. When she called. "You need to vacate the room right now!" First words out of her mouth. Once again...as someone who's not totally alloof on customer service the conversation should have gone more like this: "Hello Mr. Smith, I heard the clock in your room was not working properly. I apologize for that. Take your time getting ready and let me know if I can be of any assistance" See how easy that is? The hotel is already run down and dingy. I wouldn't stay there again just because of that...when you add in rude employees I just have to write a review. Avoid this place at all costs. It's not worth the extra money you'd save. I know this won't happen because they don't seem like the place to care, but if you need more tips on how to properly treat a guest who is helping pay your salary have a manager reach out to me. I'd live to help.…
This place is horrible. They had a guard knock on the door. Upon answering she just push her way into my room without saying who she was or what her job was. Started taking pictures and left, again, without informing me of her title or role at the hotel Felt so unsafe I cut my stay short and went somewhere else
If you’re looking for comfort and cleanliness this is not an option for you. The hotel is old, poorly maintained. The carpet on the floor is disgusting, there are stains all over it. The stove hood and the hairdryer were full of dust, impossible to use. When we arrived at our room our toilet was clogged. A staff brought us a plunger and we had to unclog the toilet. There is no room service. If you want your room cleaned, you have to let the reception know and they will schedule the cleaning. With that said, when you run out of toilet paper or when you want your towels changed you also have to ask the reception and they bring it to your room. The hall smelled like cigarettes and weed all the time. The hotel is going through a renovation, so we were waken almost every day with a banging on the upper floor (we were at the 15th floor, renovation was at 16th floor). About the location, there are a lot of stores and restaurants nearby. It’s also near the Bus Terminal and subway station. There are also a lot of homeless sleeping nearby. The staff are actually really nice, but because of all the problems in the infrastructure I would never stay here again.…
NOT what you see online!! This place went downhill FAST. used to be a super nice hotel(big name brand). Now it’s just a rundown building with no more maintenance. The doors have some type of dust on them. The doors look as if they have been broken into. The carpet was worn and pulled up exposing the nails. Shower floor was cracked and chipped. Save the heart break, go elsewhere.
